is this a bug or a site source error?

I get a warning from NetSurf: Error while processing content unencoding: invalid code lengths set Is this a bug in NetSurf, or is it an error in the site's source code? If it's a bug, I will happily report it. Dave

I get a warning from NetSurf: Error while processing content unencoding: invalid code lengths set Here, using NetSurf r13077, running on RO 6.20, there is no error, and the page is displayed, more or less correctly. However, for reasons not understood, NetSurf decided to re-scan the fonts before loading (NetSurf was not running, when I double-clicked the URL). Here it does the crash with r13124 and RISC OS 4.02.

If it's a bug, I will happily report it. The site responds with a gzip-encoded stream containing trailing garbage. This causes the HTTP library we use to complain with the message you see. r13129 contains an egregious hack around the problem which should make it work as well as can be expected. John-Mark.

Most likely because you're fetching it through a proxy server which fixes the brokenness. Certainly, there's no reason for r13077 to work any better than later versions in this respect. John-Mark.
Hit counter problem
I've just noticed that some of my hit counters aren't working on NetSurf although they do work on Oregano, Fresco, Firefox, etc. To take one example, the source code is as follows: img src=/cgi-sys/Count.cgi?df=ricp.dat|display=Counter|ft=6|md=6|frg b=100;139;216|dd=K alt=hit counter On NetSurf this returns an image containing the following message instead of the digits: Counter datafile /var/cpanel/Counters/ricp.dat%7Cdisplay=Counter%7Cft =6%7Cmd=6%7Cfrgb=100;139;216%7Cdd=K must be created in cPanel first! Obviously the whole request is getting to the server otherwise it couldn't display it in the returned image, so what is going wrong? The datafile path should only be as far as ricp.dat so is the request being sent in such a way that it thinks the whole lot is part of the filename? -- Richard Porterhttp://www.minijem.plus.com/ mailto:r...@minijem.plus.com I don't want a user experience - I just want stuff that works.

NetSurf is configured to use 'No proxy'. Is it possible that my ISP connects via a proxy, without my knowledge? Tony
